Signs AND Portents? In This Economy?!?: Tuesday Open Thread
Congratulations to the Florida Panthers. You have placed another nail in the coffin that is The Natural Order. We've covered many times how the Modern Captialist Corporatocracy is not satisfied by mere excellence, but demands infinite growth.
